Spokespeople for Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins did not respond to questions whether it’s appropriate for lawmakers to get special services at the Capital office. Of course not.

I agree that only U.S. citizens can register to vote in California state or local elections. CA has a border with Mexico and thousands of persons illegally cross the border The statistics are staggering.

These illegals are citizens of other countries and their allegiance is to those countries — not to the U.S. Only people who stand in line and legally are permitted to enter and later go through the process of becoming a U.S. citizen should be permitted to vote in CA elections.

Is Cory Booker pro Palestine? Just not understand Israel’s need for a defense Wall? Or just fuzzy thinking? His denial does not hold up.

Senator Cory Booker was photographed holding a sign bearing a pro-Palestinian movement slogan. The image appeared on the Twitter feed of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a self-described “coalition of 330+ groups” working “for a US policy toward Palestine/Israel based on freedom, justice, and equality.”

“From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go,” the sign read.

Trump Wall opposed by open borders Booker

Booker, however, claims he wasn’t aware that the sign called for an end to the border wall between Israel and the Palestinian territory, but rather only a U.S. border wall with Mexico.

“In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold – he didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel,”

(Steven Hayward)A little noticed detail in Santa Barbara’s recent drive to criminalize plastic straws, which culminated in the Santa Barbara city council taking testimony from a nine-year-old about the planetary menace, has come to light in recent days. During that council session, councilman Jesse Dominguez said the following in response to citizens who asked “what’s next?”:

“Unfortunately, common sense is just not common. We have to regulate every aspect of people’s lives.”

Firenze Sage opines: This bozo [Jesse Dominquez] got 1100 votes in his district and now wants to control the world based on the bogus “research of a nine year old.

researchers spend your money examining “tweets” about heat and feelings about life

Tweets connect hot weather with suicide?

Based on an analysis of “tweets” ….

Researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley predict that climate change will “likely boost suicide rates worldwide.”

The new study, published last week in the journal Nature Climate Change, “found very strong evidence that abnormally hot weather increases both suicide rates and the use of depressive language on social media,” lead author Marshall Burke told Berkeley News.

“This may be the first decisive evidence that climate change will have a substantial effect on mental health in the United States and Mexico, with tragic human costs.” Tweet This

This, the researchers say, can be extended to form the conjecture that “unmitigated climate change” could lead to between 9,000 and 40,000 additional suicides in the United States and Mexico combined by 2050. According to the scholars, this difference is comparable to the estimated impact of economic recessions, suicide prevention programmes, or gun restriction laws.

“That’s an increase of several percentage points over rates today, which are actually rising as other causes of death decline,” UC Berkeley points out in its coverage of the study.

According to Stanford News, the team analyzed the language of more than half a billion tweets, finding that words like “lonely,” “trapped,” and “suicidal” are more prevalent when temperatures are higher, even among “rich populations” and those who “are used to warm weather.”

Firenze Sage opines: This is supported by “strong evidence” based on an analysis of tweets.

More likely the study is strong evidence of a waste of other people’s money which flows to pro global warmers.

Check your medications & make sure that no drug ingredients are made in China. Better safe than sorry. Stay safe from Chinese made “adulterated” drugs based on fake data. The following is based on a Letter in WSJ August 4, 2018.

In 2017, the most warning letters for adulterated drugs issued by the FDA (see fda.gov) went to Chinese drug manufacturers. India was close behind.

One example: the anti-hypertensive drug valsartin — made in China — was recently recalled, One safe and simple solution, many cardiologists moved their patients to a different medication. But what if you like varsartin and want made in USA medications?

One excellent resource in Aptos, CA is Frank’s Pharmacy. If you or someone you know likes varsartin, you can get USA made valsartin through Frank’s Pharmacy.

China is now one of the biggest producers of drugs and drug products in the world.

Chinese drug products appear to be not trust worthy because info about them is based on fake data. Radio Free Asia reports that an internal review in 2016 by Chinese drugs regulators showed that the Chinese fabricated the test results.

One resource available through Amazon books and on Kindle is ” China RX : Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine”.

Can someone explain why one must pay via Amazon $12 for a Kindle electronic copy of “China RX” and $14 for a paper copy? Shame on Jeff Bezos!

There’s several upcoming vigils at Richmond CA which support Open Borders for ALL Illegal immigrants — is this what CA needs? What the USA needs?

OPEN BORDERS for ALL is vital according to Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity. Really?

How come everyone wants “in” as a refugee to the USA and there’s no rush to leave the USA and be a refugee elsewhere? Why don’t we help people stay where they are and — if they leave — help them get back to their homelands, back to their culture, back to the world they grew up in, know and love?

Are the “welcome the stranger” sermons — frequently preached from many church pulpits — used by the Open Borders crowd? Maybe the persons preaching “welcome the stranger” sermons are the Open Borders crowd.

Here’s some useful info: There’s three upcoming vigils for illegal immigrants detained by ICE at Richmond Detention Center CA. Friday June 8, Sat. July 7 and Sat. August 8. Why not go and you decide.

Why not have a vigil that represents more than one opinion?

Mother Deborah Lee is the Executive Director of Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity. Per reviews of Interfaith literature, this group mobilizes faith communities for immigrant, racial and economic justice.

Frankly, if there weren’t nine federal refugee contractors being paid on a per refugee head basis to bring refugees to your towns and cities, maybe then a realistic policy could be advanced to care for (legitimate) refugees near their homes so that returning them to their homes and to their familiar cultures would be the number one priority of humanitarian care.

Perhaps if this pattern could be broken now—Middle East wars=flow of migrants to the West—it would be a very important legacy for Trump to leave us with.

Trump and Haley could break the pattern! No more knee jerk admission of ‘refugees’ with every Middle East conflict.

Donald Trump’s ambassador to the United Nations on Sunday defended the president’s ban on allowing Syrian refugees into the US by claiming that people displaced due to the country’s civil war did not actually want to leave the region.

When asked how she justified the Trump administration admitting almost no Syrian refugees while also bombing Assad regime targets in the country, Nikki Haley cited conversations she said she had had with refugees at camps in Jordan and Turkey.

“Not one of the many that I talked to ever said we want to go to America,” Haley said on Fox News Sunday. “They want to stay as close to Syria as they can.”
